What players say

Players praise the high-quality 46+ CG illustrations but flag a very short runtime of 1–2 hours with no choices or multiple endings. The story tackles dark post-apocalyptic themes and has good worldbuilding, but feels rushed and more like a novel outline. Opinions split on whether the tonal whiplash between grim events and sudden fanservice is humorous or jarring.
